ive had an old Sky UK card that ive been given in my oscam for 4 weeks now and its still only received 1 entitlement,my own full Sky UK card has received 2 updates in this time,so the other old card is not updating and i dont know why.
hence the question about it being switched off.

As usual I am keen to get my head around this subject, one of the threads where we were talking about this before, (cant find it) had my findings playing about with old cards in EMUs and an official box. Some with no entitlements came up with message in digibox saying something like "wrong card for box" and others said "unauthorised" or similar. I assumed these had been stopped by sly.
However what does "stopped" or "activated" mean? as I have said before, cards with no entitlement tiers at all can still decode some channels. We do know that it needs a unique EMM for updates so presumably if sly dont send any addressed to a particular card number it would never get any more entitlements.
Would be nice to have a few answers to questions like why do some FTV cards have 9 and some ex-sub cards have 8 tiers?

Yes I second that, again more questions than answers,
Am I right in thinking that when entitlements expire they disappear from the list on the card? This is from a card in oscam with no entitlements whatsoever:
"localuser (0963&000000/D158/3E:F236): found (61 ms) by slot_1 (1 of 2) - Climax" as you can see decoding "climax" channel along with a few others.

On my white slycard that the spiderbox resurrected, according to vizcam I have 4 entitlements(but 8 listed in detailed view). It opens Ch5HD and Picktv. Not sure if that's any help. Looking at the list of channels I am not sure there is any advantage of having one.

Pick TV is changing between FTA and encrypted, goodness knows why but I am certain it is being scrambled again at times as someone rang me the other day complaining it wouldn't open with cccam and their sub card.

I have a card with 1 entitlement, it clears LFC TV and the soft **** channels during the day.

The card only has the 1 entitlement since it was killed off back in 2010

thats exactly what this one opens,only the card was never killed off,the guy just stopped paying sky and cancelled his subscription.but the life of the card was extended past the kill off date by about 6 weeks by not allowing any new emms through until the last entitlements expired.
when i inserted into the reader it had no entitlements and now after 4 weeks it has just the one and only opens LFC and a few **** channels during the day.

It is wierd that the one channel is still on the card even though the date is just crazy. the tiers given by oscam on a card bought as a FTV are 0003,000b,001d,b765,b766,b772,b77 3,b860,b8c0. The last one is missing on an ex-sub card, yet all the channels open just the same. No sign of 2bfb so wtf is going on I wonder?
